This review is not all-inclusive of what’s on your exam. Be sure to

study any notes that we have gone over this semester!

Grammar

Time Principles

Specific Time Indicators

• Those signs which identify specifically when something happens. –Graduation is this Saturday.• THIS SATURDAY, GRADUATION.

–My kids go to bed at 9:00.• 9:00 MY KIDS GO-TO-BED.

General to Specific Rule

• If a sentence has more than one time indicator (next Saturday at 3:00, etc.) ASL generally arranges these in order starting with the most general time, ending with the most specific time. This is VERY different from English.

– I went to a baseball game at 7:00 last night.– LAST NIGHT 7:00 BASEBALL GAME I GO-TO

Non-Specific Time Indicators

• These signs do not indicate when something happens, but indicate if it has already happened or has not yet happened or will happen (FINISH or NOT-YET or WILL)

– I haven’t started studying for my exams yet.• STUDY EXAMS ME START NOT-YET.

– I have already started studying for my exams.• STUDY EXAMS ME START FINISH.

Time Sequence Principle

• In an ASL sentence, the events are generally presented in the same order that they happened in real life.

– I had to go to the ER after my car accident.• ME CAR ACCIDENT FINISH, ER I GO-TO
